history
Demerthin was originally a Slavic round village , the shape of which was almost unrecognizable by the highway. The manor belonged u. a. of the von Platen family . From 1468 to 1945 it was then owned by the von Klitzing family from the Brandenburg region , who built Demerthin Castle in 1604, which has hardly changed to this day .
On June 30, 2002 Demerthin merged with 15 other communities to form the community of Gumtow. At that time the place had 457 inhabitants.
